This is not accurate. The recaptcha service can only view its own cookies, which have to be integrated into the sites using it.
What this means is, using a unique ID (known as a device fingerprint), your activity is identified on sites that use that service, and recorded for that service. This is also easy to counter with browsers like Brave or Safari which have built in anti-fingerprinting, which generally results in more aggressive recaptcha checks because they can’t verify your previous activity.
Websites cannot access your browser history. Only nefarious (native, not web) applications can. Don’t install questionable apps, or use chrome or edge.
Hard to know. Could have just been demonstrating a new browser feature. Could be malware.
Not enough information to go on, unfortunately.
Either way, since Google is notoriously terrible, I’d suggest finding a nerd in your life who can install a better Linux distribution on your chromebook so you’re not stuck using chromeOS.
Most likely there are no real privacy options for computers or devices once they’re connected to the internet (since most hardware is probably compromised out of the box), but we can know with absolute certainty that using a Google device and OS is literally handing all of your activity on a silver platter to ‘alphabet’ agencies.

Interestingly enough, right after I watched the video and x'd out of the tab...within moments I opened another tab to check on something.
In Great Big Letters [brave browser] across the front of my screen, on a brand new browser page... it said to:
"Swipe Right" and had a fingerish shape demonstrating swiping right.
I immediately closed that tab and opened a new one [which did not ask me to swipe right].
What the heck was that about?
